Those weren't his theories, though. He was merely sharing the theories that were formulated by some of the most renowned scientists in history. I love how he thinks and shares it with his classes, though; they're truly intriguing. Besides, those who doesn't believe him simply wouldn't open their mind to what science has to say.

Right?! It makes me feel excited everytime he enters the scenes because more about the complexities of that fictional world is about to be shared using science. I think that's what made him cool, too. I wish I had a professor like him.

It's been a while since I've read the book, I don't remember him as quirky. It's usual for professors to let their students figure out their lessons, though. I guess Professor Buzzard has a certain charm with him, too and his students are quite sharp, too in order for them to keep up with him.

Since this involves physics, it's hard for me to imagine my class enjoying, even if he's the professor. I'm surrounded by people who simply don't have an affinity with science. But I guess professors from any subject should be able to do what Prof. Buzzard does with his students.

They aren't his theories, though. They were formulated centuries ago by renowned scientists, although he has his own way of explaining them that seems personal. Also I think he might get slightly offended to call them "crazy theories."

He exudes openness that makes the multiverse interesting and believable. I was rethinking my knowledge of this universe and my dreams after 'attending' his class.

Everytime he enters a scene, I get excited because even though physics concepts are hard, he has a way of making it fun and intriguing. It's beyond textbook explanations, and I guess it's thanks to the author for creating Professor Buzzard and giving him such charms.

Oooh, I never thought of it like that. Now that I think about it, the book would probably be more depressing without him. I wouldn't call the mood of the book "sombre," though... but it wouldn't be far from that if we put it in a scale, I guess. I'd say it's mysterious and heavy, I guess.

I loved the character. I loved the fact that he didn't spread the information others wouldn't believe. Also the fact that he's open-minded.

He is open to sugestions. He is enthuastic. He is cheerful and to top it all, he is smart. He is exactly the type of lecturer i pray and hope for.

I found Professor Leyton Buzzard's character quite intriguing and endearing. I believe he was truly passionate about his subject, and patiently and doggedly made sure his students got the idea that he was trying to convey. I found his teaching style to be one that is very engaging and would easily arouse students' interest in the topic. I also loved how helpful he was, in all the worldlines, to Gary and Sinead.

I found his teaching method brilliant, reminded me of my university physics professor who would always go on a tangent. And while initially, we would have no clue where it is going, after 40 minutes of proving theorems, he would make a startling revelation. He managed to instill in me curiosity and passion about the subject, which was never the case before, despite his non-linear, even reckless way of teaching. Somehow, I think, this is more important than the contents themselves. Professor Leyton is patient, and breaks down even the most advanced concepts in small simple bits.

I think he was a crucial character in the book. He was significant especially for those readers who seek logic as opposed to possibility and subjectivity. I feel he played his part like a pro.

I like him. I think having him for a professor would definitely persuade me to be more openminded about his theories. Maybe his quirkiness is a bit of a stereotype but I find his personality endearing.

Prof. Leyton Buzzard was an amazing character. He might seem peculiar, but he is loveable and humorous. His theories were and teachings were interesting and fascinating.

I think Prof. Leyton Buzzard's teaching style was top-notch, and I liked how he would open up his students, reasoning. His calmness and informed reasoning makes him stand out as a good professor.
